AN ANSWER AND A HALF,

The Bulletin purporls to reply to
our exposition, yesterday, OF some in
consistent remarks appearing at differ
ent dates in its columns Its closing
sentence reads, Honesty and fair play
are always candid" Then it must
have been something other than either
honesty or fair play that induces our
contemporary, in the first part of its
article, to attribute to this paper the
u.terance Of an insinuation such as was
not expressed. There is wide dis
tinction between asking # certain in
formation was not available, and
insinuating that said information was
sin possession" Of the Bulletin. Any
ordinary reader would have taken
the gist Of our article TO be
that the Bulletin had proved, by its
own words, to have been rash in the
particular instance in question. There
was 10 attempt to insinuate such foul
play as itself represents against the
boastedly independent" paper. The
latter is therefore bueking against a

JAPANESE LABOR IMMIGRA-
TON.

In to-1ay's paper will be found a
"Noiice to Employers Of Iaborers,
from the Minister Of the Interior AT.
iention may be called to several i'm
proved conditions, by way Of increased
cheapness to the planters. The en-
ployer is not required to furnish food
in addition to the wages offered, which
we understand are no higher than the
former rate with food added. Only
one.half Of the passage money is to be
advanced by the employer, and there
will be no charge for lodging at the
immigration Depot. Hoping it will
not be denominated "gush' by any Of
those wiseacres who love to dispense
tany to seekers thereof qualification
may be expressed that the Government
finds time and opportunity, apart from
the duties Of cleansing the Augean
stable--to use the familiar smile for
political house cleaning-to attend to
the practical wants Of the country II
is matter Of satisfaction to find that the
Japanese here feel themselves so agree
ably situated as that, from reports sent
home by and concerning them, their
countrymen are ready to follow them
hither for reduced considerations. Ow-
ing to their habits and dispositions, as
well as to the fact that wives and fani.
lies are brought along with them in
larger proportion, the immigration OF
Japanese laborers is much less open to
objection than that OF the other great
branch Of Asiatics, namely, the Chi
nese. The policy Of the Government
in bringing in more Japanese must
indicate that tnis nationality is proving
to be success on the plantations, not
withstanding statements often heard in
the city to the contrary which represent
the Japanese as an impraciicable class;
for surely the Government must be in
position to know the planters wishes
in the matter, and would not 60 to
even preliminary expense for procuring
Japanese labor if it was not reasonably
certain of being accepted. 1t has
come to be regarded as automatic that
cheap labor is essential to the main
tenance OF the chief industry Of
the country, especially during
the continuance Of the low ruling
of the sugar market. Therefore, with
the prospect of fresh supplies Of labol
from Japan at lower rates than before
il may be hoped that the plantation in
terests will at least hold their own mex
year. Nothing is more important, out
side Of good government, than tina
sugar should maintain its ground unit
the development Of new industries shall
have advanced much further than tn,
present condition.

Palace Square

The people Of these Islands built a
palace to be proud Of with nicely laid
out grounds, and surrounded the
premises with an expensive wall in
fact spent a large sum Of money to
make the abode Of the King place to
be admired They afterward removed
an old chiefs residence that was so
situated as to detract from the fine ap-
pearance Of the place, leaving a large
open space in front, which was leveled
and macsdamized. Since that time
enough fine dust has accumulated
there to make it the busiest and most
disagreeable place to travel over in
Honolulu. People dread the trip
along King street to the Government
building, and prefer going down a
block further to Queen street, where
their eyes, noses and mouths will not
be filed with flying filth. This condi.
ton could be remedied, perhaps, by
periodical sweeping Of Palace Square
and the occasional use Of hose and
water AS things stand, il is like
dressing a man in broadcloth and leav-
ing him to wear pair Of old and di'
lapidated boots.

which is IN the line Of neither honesty
